With the expansion of computing capacity and sophisticated data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) and its related technology, machine learning (ML), are woven through the world, both online and off. They influence everything from how new cars operate to how you choose your next movie to stream.

AI and ML are also crucial to efficient and effective government operations. MITRE partners with federal agencies to apply the best elements of AI and ML, while developing and supporting ethical guardrails to protect people and their personal data. We also know that to stay completive globally, we must advise our partners on how to attract skilled AI and ML talent as we look to the future.

Our people are committed to anticipating and solving future needs that are vital to the success and safety of the public.


Attracting Tech Talent for an AI-Ready Workforce. The Department of Defense needs a workforce that can master artificial intelligence. Competing with other countries and other industries will take a new mindset for recruiting. A Growing Demand for AI Talent: Greatest skills needs in the next 2-5 years according to surveyed executive: AI Researchers 30%, Software Developers 28%, Data Scientists 24%, User Experience Designers 23%, Change Management Experts 22%. Source: Deloitte: AI in the Enterprise, 2nd Edition, 2018. 5 Recommendations for the DoD: Highlight diversity within the agency and adopt a start-up culture of innovation, collaboration and rapid R&D. Share stories that reflect common values: preservation of civil liberties, importance of public service, and humanitarianism. Increase trust by showcasing stories of collaborative success and convey values in language people understand. Establish more “ROTC+ programs” and in scholarships in geographic areas that are considered hubs of AI thought and research. Engage leadership transparently, explaining the risk if China takes the global lead in defense, technology, and engineering. Source: MITRE: Designing A New Narrative to Build an AI-Ready Workforce
